Ep.1

I have 4 Buildings done so far.


Built in 1946, The Sunshine Motel has been owned and operated by Garwoods for 52 years, and serves lower income tourists and often recieves overnight jurers from the local County Courthouse. It is located on the corner of Front and N. Main St.


Sincliare Gasoline has been serving Beachfront since 1953 and proudly stands as the town's only Gas station. It is along 10th Street and between N. and S. Main St.


The Empire Theater, Built in 1938 serves as Beach front's smaller Movie Theater, and has proudly not undergone a single change since it's opening. It is located along N. Main St.


Beachfront Police Department was established in 1868, and moved into this building in 1933. It has 8 cells and employs 5 Officers. It faces 4th St. and is between N. and S. Main St.

For a low income town, your residents sure have nice cars! Porshe, Land Rover, Volkswagen, geez

[BANDITp61 7]

Nice job where can i download those buildings?

[blue sinjid 7]

A very unique idea for a cj! Be sure to include some simcity 4 pics!

[spore415 5]

HAHAHAHAHAHHA, i love it, i simply love it! paper houses....

[Follarch 326]

lol pics of buildings made from paper on a website to display cities built on the game Sim City. Not sure if i should be laughing or reporting.

[Pooty 228]

Damnit, this made my day!

ilikehotdogsalot - I never said the town was low income, I only said the hotel was for hotel was for low income people, meaning it was cheap

BANDITp61 - Ummm....They not available for download, they're made of a paper..... 

blue sinjid - thank you...I was actually going to make a city from the buildings, and It's then still a CJ.

spore415 - No houses yet  But I don't see how It's all that funny....

Archean - Neither. It's nothing to report nor to laugh about. I'm making a Town from theese buildings, so It is still a CJ. I've never read anything about a City have to be made from SC4 to be in a Journal.

Pooty - I'm glad....

[un1 40]

lol Pooty. Although, this section is for SC4 / SCS journals. I think this can stay, just in the very General Off-Topic section.

But anyway the colouring could be better. Nice work!

[Glenni 1,444]

Well the paper models look allright, you seriously need to use some time on the colouring though XD

[wishfulanthony 3]

It looks great! I want to see more paper models... what a start for a unique CJ experience!

Uh, dude...they're photos of a paper city.

Awesome! A new idea, well-executed. Looks very realistic so far, nice work!

[ilikehotdogsalot 307]

I'm pretty sure bandit was kidding...

[ianpaschal 77]

For those who can't figure out BAT.

Very creative! I'm watching this.

I know. So was I, in a way.

I once made something like this from some computer program that had pre-made print designs on it. Not from scratch, though, like you. And now that others are mentioning it, you might want to color the models a bit better, but the shapes are cool!

At first, I thought, "this guy has to much time on his hands", but then, I realized, that we all do. Look at some of the endless hours we have put into the simcity franchise over the years.

So I have to admit, the paper city concept seems pretty cool. All we need is some paper streets, people, roads and sidewalks. I notice it's situated on what looks like a picnic table.

Could make for an interesting Christmas display at home.

I used to make stuff like this when I was a kid, way back before everyone had a computer to play simulation games on.

[dfnva 34]

Despite the naysayers, I think this is great, a unique perspective of a CJ. The only suggestion would be to work on your coloring.

Have you ever thought of using model railroad buildings (HO or N are good scales)? One can create some cool towns and great buildings by 'kitbashing,' and making your own buildings with the kits.

un1 - I still say, nowhere in the rules does it say SCS and SC4 journals. So It is a city journal, despite naysayers..

glenni - Thanks, I try but my set of crayons is seroiusly old

wishfulanthony - scroll down and you will see some!

IDS2 - thanks, I am trying to aim for top realism

ilikehotdogsalot - I suspected so, but sarcasm doesn't show up in writing.....

Scipio - Keep watching!

IDS2 - I don't do that really (Cut out premade buildings), because I usally make it better...

andrewcocke - Yes, It's on a Picnic table in a nearby park, but I don't plan to build it there.

dfnva - nah, I don't like thos kit buildings, although I at least can use HO scale trains and cars and such.

Ep.2

I've gotten 4 new buildings done plus a map.

This is the basic idea for The town, and the scale is about 5" per street width. And for anyone wondering, the street between 4th and 6th is 5th Street.

Built in 1922, The W.R. Benton Drug Emporium has been suplying medicine and soda to Beachfront from It's location at the corner of Front and North Main St for 33 Years, and has stayed in the Benton family the whole time.

The Beachfront Inquirer has been serving county since 1930. It is a small tabloid and it's main competition is with the Cherry County Herald. The Beachfront Inquirer office is on 4th Street.

Flying A Gasoline is the second gas station in Beachfront, and is along Front between North and South Main.

Bixler Packard (I don't have any model Packards) is one of 2 car dealerships in Beachfront and has ben running since 1940. It it located along 3rd Street and is between North and South Main.

[Theirishnintendonerd 13]

[flyinbird93 2]

this is awesome, funny and different. i deffinatly wanna see more

[PhilsCafe 8]

I agree with those who said this is creative and unique. You should definitely keep this up. I like your planning... I think everybody has drawn maps of fictional cities once in their lives. It's kinda the essence of SC4. Btw, I love that diner.

As for constructive criticism, like some people said before, you should really work on the coloring. I like the way you used different materials, like aluminum foil, though.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

wow..... hmmm.... different.... lol
